LAW 3871 - Intellectual Property Survey


This is an introduction to the law of intellectual property, principally addressing copyrights, trademarks and patents, as well as their limitations in a free society. Related concepts of unfair competition are also addressed. The course is intended for students taking fewer than all of the basic courses concentrating in the areas addressed, namely, Copyright, Trademarks and Patent Law. Intellectual property issues raised by new information technologies are emphasized throughout the course. Teaching techniques consist primarily of lecture and class discussion to varying degrees, depending upon enrollment. Grades are assigned principally on the basis of an examination that is administered at the end of the course.

Credits: 2 or3
